There is a grand Jubilee at Tacoma

assurances OF local favor as a great
railroad company can give. Here

to compete for commercial position
and Importance with ali the advant-
ages which its people have ever hoped

achievement, and it is natural that
the people should rejoice. The Ore
gOnidn rejoices with them, for it sees
for their country the beginning of an
era of broader development.
The Oregoalan believes that Puget
Sound will have great future. 1t

magic nor from somebody's good
nature or favor. but from develop

There is royal road to industrial

There are scme rivalries at the
Sound which are unnatural asd

Port Townsend Bay needs cans
merry for putting up fish. clans, crabs,
etc. Such factories are built in other
parts of the country, and their pro-
duct keeps money at home that other
wise would be sent abroad. We have
the fish, CLANS, and crabs, but we
haven't the cannery: 4 dispatch
from Albany, Or, says, among other
things: "a gentleman from Yaquina
in this city today, states that a com
pany consisting of John McCraken,
of Portland, Alien Parker, OF Yaquina,
and John Priest, collector of customs
at that place, have commenced prep
arations for opening an extensive fish
canning establishment at Yaquina.
Work was commenced on the build
ing today, which is to be two stories
high and 30x6G feet 1t will be stu
ated at the end of the Oregon Pacific
dock, between Yaquina City and
Parkers mill. The establishment
will have capacity of 1900 dozen
cans per day, and will can salmon
principally this season, but expects
next year to can deep sea fish also.
The company has ample means, and
will go into business extensively,
using the latest improved machinery.
A tin shop will be started in connec-
ton with the business. They expect
to put upon the market this season
$4,000 cans, and the amount expend-
ed TO do this they estimate at $50, 600.
An experienced Gamer has been Sc
cured from the Columbia. The fish
ing grounds of Yequina offer good
field for such an enterprise. Allen
Parker will be manager. Mr.. Nc
Oraken returned to Portland from

Dedicated to Kickers.

The following is reproduced for the
benefit of certain chronic kickers in
this city:
Saiat Peter sits by the heavenly
gates. his hands on the string of &
Tyre and he sings low song as he
patiently waits for the souls OF those
who expire. he bears in the distance
the chorus of song that swells from
the foot OF the throne and he smiles
as the music is waited along and
MARBLES lay of his own. There is
room in this region for millions of
souls. who by sorrow and woe are
bereft; It's for those who have suf-
Tered the melody rolls, but the kickers
mast turn to the left. There is room
for people who. when they are young,
persisted in sowing wild oats, but
who doomed up their city with sinew
and tongue, but the kickers must go
on with the goats. There is room
for the people who pointed with pride
to the beauty and growth of their
town, who kept singing its praises
until they had died, but the kickers
will please amble down. They'd say
that the music was all out of tune,
and the angelic robes hand me downs,
and they'd send for a jeweler off to
the moon to sumple the gold in the
crowns. So while there is room for
million souls, who by sorrow and
woe We're bereft, we want no complaint
of the music that rolls, so the kickers
must turn to the left.

Tacoma Wants Il.

Tacoma is still agitating ou the
University question. 1t has at last 4
basis upon which to build, in a nag
nificent offer by G. B. Wright to give
$4,000 If the institution is located
there. g. b. Wright is evidently
determined that Tacoma shall become
great city if his purse holds out,
and the Tacoma papers are setting
great store by his generosity and
public spirit. A testimonial of thanks
appears in the Nelrs, signed by repre-
entatives of the First Nj. E. Church,
and of the Chamber Of Commerce, in
Tacoma. Some of the Tacoma mem
bers of the University trustees, ap-
pointed by the NJ. E. conference and
plainly instructed to complete and
carry out the contract with Port
Townsend are evidently so loyal to the
interests of Tacoma that they would
repudiato their obligations here if
they could, in order to reopen the
whole matter and give Tacoma a
chance to bid for the prize. It is
upon this apparent disposition that
Tacoma's hopes are based. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY the intention now to make up
an offer from Tacoma SO handsome as
to prove temptation to the members
of the conference in the way of a
bribe to violate their plighted faith.
We have said before that we do not
believe this effort will be success
full, simply because our experience
with Methodist conferences leads us
to higher opinion of their integrity.
However, in view of ali the circum-
stances, and the magnitude of the
prize, we believe it would be to the
interest of Port Townsend and vicin-
ity to swell its offer to the highest
possible point
We have reason to believe that an
attack is contemplated upon the
values affixed to our lands, and that
point must be carefully guarded by
securing enough to make sure. An
attempt is sought to make handle
of the ninety-day clause; but that is
efectually disposed of by Bishop
Harris letter, and by Judge Lewis
able presentation of the legal aspects
of the case, and by Bishop Fowler
who admits that there is nothing in
ut. The case Is persistently misstated
by Tacoma people who claim that the
neat conference will decide upon a
location-utterly ignoring the fact
that the location was long since de-
cided upon, and that unanimously.
II We see to ii that our amount prom
ised IS made up in good measure,
there is nothing for the conference to
do but either carry cut its part of the
contract or violate its own honor. IT.
certainly will never do the latter.
Bishop Fowler's personal preference
for Tacoma cuts no figure whatever
in the csse-for he has nothing what
ever to do with electing the location.
and besides he has distinctly said that
the University must come 20 Port
Townsend if our bonHs be made good
in amount, and that no change should
b. made unless honorably. Tacoma's
Efforts are commendable; those of a
few Of her citiz4ns are execrabie. We
expect that 4 searching inquiry will
be made by the trustees into tie
Cdi'te of the Port Townsend bonus. |
and clear, satisfactory report on
that viii preclude any change, no
matter how much Tacoma may offer.
We sympathizs with Mr. Wright in
his hercUleln efforts to build city
from his private fortune; but he will |
fail TO purchase the University. He
did not begin soon enough. |

GOODS FROM OVER THE SEAS.
A Remarkable Increase in the Business Done
by the Indianapolis Custom House.

The annual report of August NJ. Kuhn.
collector of customs for the port of Indianapolis,
shows that the amount of duty paid on imported
goods for the year was $102, 600, against eos 900
for 1856, and So, 900 for 1885 The highest
amount paid In any year previous to the
three named was $50, 900. THE people have
little idea of the amount of imported goods sold
in Indianapolis said gentleman connected
with the custom house yesterday. 1.-The great
trouble with merchants is they have always
imported through the port of New York city,
and it is hard to get them 20 understand that
home port. When there is appeal taken on
appralsement IL can be settled much sooner TX
the importer has received mis- goods through the
home Office. Besides, it is great advertise
ment to Indianapolis to have il shown in the
government report that 81, 000,00 worth of
goods passed through the port in
year Heretofore all this credit has
gone to New York" However, the majority of
the local importers beginning to patroniZe
cal year ended June 30. For July, the first
month of the present year, the value of the goods
imported was $50 13I, which duty to the
amount of s24 335 81 paid. Last year in
July the value of the goods received was $14. 700,
and the duty on the same ST., 289. 81 The year
previous the duty paid July only $40.

CLOUDS, BUT NO RAlN.
A Shower Comes Near the City, but Passes
Around-Another Day of Extreme Heat.

Yesterday morning the banking of heavy
cumulus clouds in the southwest and north
offered a chance to predict rain It was inst
such an atmosphere. too, that precedes thunder
storms of greater or less severity. There had
been the night before heavy rains in the west,
while the local barometer readings indicated
probable early change in temperature. Shortly
afterwards the clouds began to darken, and the
wet weather conditions became more forcible
in stiff breezes that swept through the oyer
heated streets Nobody thought the weather
any cooler. but it was the expectations of what
would develop before night that seemed to put
new life into sweltering humanity. The day
was hotter than Thursday. as the thermome
marked a little before O'Clock 80 81, the highest
point reached since Saturday, when the reading
was l0l. 10. AT = o'clock precisely the mercury
dropped GO % II. 1t was at this hour that the
rain conditions became percepfible the clouds

it. People waited for its REPETITION. but ii did
not come, nor did the rain Within few min
